It’s easier to leave than to be left behind….
This is the last post on Bonkers In Honkers, it’s been a blast…. Hong Kong will always have a place in my heart (right next to my right ventricle I suspect).
I would love if you could follow our further adventuring in Singapore and other countr... Comment - Like

.in Singapore that is. Unfortunately my brain is in no mood to think up a new title for our blog so we are still Bonkers in Honkers for now. Looking for a non-place specific title if any of you come up with anything.
Soooo Singapore….

We were invited to spend an evening on the roof of a 60 floor apartment building out in Tung Chung on Sunday. The views were awesome and the company, drinks and snacks added to the occasion. I will miss opportunities like this. Comment - Like

It’s with heavy hearts I announce we are leaving Hong Kong on June 18th for Singapore. We accepted positions in an international school there a few months ago. Three years have passed by in a flash.
I started this blog to record our new and exciting experiences in a strange and wonderful city and... Comment - Like

Rosedale on the Park has been on my radar for a while but for some reason we just never ended up going to it…until tonight!
It promised stunning views and happy hour drinks on their website and it duly delivered.
The Skyzone Bar and Restaurant is all the way up on the 33rd floor. Decor is a bit ... Comment - Like

After only experiencing one hot pot eating event once before I was eager to try it again. Especially as the first one was bloody vegetarian!! So I was very happy we were invited to a very meaty hot pot event in a colleague’s apartment.
Basically hot pot involves a pot of boiling water, raw vegeta... Comment - Like

If you’re heading down to Bangkok from Hong Kong for whatever reason you can get the most reasonably priced flights on, strangely enough, Emirate’s sparkling new behemoth double-deckered Airbus 380! I’ve wanted to fly on this bird since I watched its maiden flight live streaming back in 2006/2... Comment - Like

I’ve being going to HKU now since September 2009 on a 2 year part time gig for my Post Graduate Diploma of Education. I finish up the whole shebang in May. Forever. God knows if the PGDE will have any monumental standing outside of Honkers.
The overwhelming high point of my time at HKU has with... Comment - Like

WordPress kicked my behind when it sent me that email with the stats of bonkersinhonkers. It did exactly what they wanted it to do; it got me at least to think about blogging again.

Saw these posters up in Cyberport during the week and thought it would be fun as we both like to chuckle at dogs around Honkers. I couldn’t help thinking of a Father Ted episode (the lovely girls contest) though…

500 Hennessy Road is the next mega-mall in Hysan Development portfolio of “works”. It’s been a construction site since we arrived in Causeway Bay in mid 2008. Only recently has it started reaching for the skies.

In fairness the exhibitions in Times Square shopping mall are pretty weak but the latest one is pretty cool looking. One of those art exhibitions that make you go “What the hell is going on?” and you just have to take a closer look.

I popped down to Singapore from the 2nd to the 5th March for a conference. I stayed in a dodgy hotel near Suntec City. It was cheap and I could sleep but I was missing the usual niceties of those soul-less chain hotels. And cleanliness.
Singapore struck me as even more “westernised” than Honker... Comment - Like
